Jeff Van Drew Flip-Flops, Ducks Debate With His LD1 GOP Opponent

By Irwin M. Fletcher | The Save Jersey Blog

LD1Back in February when I profiled some potentional LD1 candidates, Save Jerseyans, one of the positives I highlighted about the now GOP nominee Susan Adelizzi-Schmidt was her ability to go toe-to-toe with her opponent, incumbent Jeff Van Drew, and be a very formidable debate opponent.

It seems Van Drew agrees with me!

Right after the primary, Jeff Van Drew declared that he was looking forward to debating the issues with Adelizzi-Schmidt, the first woman Senate candidate in LD1 history. Since Van Drew expressed that he was eager to debate, Adelizzi-Schmidt then challenged him to a summer debate.

Van Drew said no.

And Guess What? The Numbers Demonstrate Democrats Have No Common Sense Gun Solutions

By Irwin M. Fletcher | The Save Jersey Blog

Gun VotesToday as you read this, Save Jerseyans, the Assembly is voting on a package of Democrat gun control bills which Democrats have deemed as their “common sense” solutions to gun violence and crime.

Debate is happening right now. You can listen live to the Assembly Floor by clicking here.

But I have news for you:

Common sense tells us that Democrats have no clue when it comes to reducing any type of gun crime.

Look at the numbers, people. This isn’t opinion; it is fact…

There is one nearly universal truth in America concerning the great gun debate: that if you walk into a city where the odds of you falling victim to violent crime (like a shooting or a stabbing) go up significantly, you’ll also find that the odds that the municipality in question is run by Democrats also increases…

Sandy Aid Floor Debate (VIDEO)

Jan. 15 Frank LoBiondo, Hurricane Sandy, Jersey Shore, U.S. House of Representatives 5 comments

By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog

Debate on the $50B+ Sandy aid package is underway as I write this…

New Jersey Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen and Jon Runyan spoke a short time ago; here’s Frank LoBiondo on the floor earlier today:

Some good news? Our protests haven’t gone completely unheeded, Save Jerseyans.

A few of the more offensive pork items in the Senate package (including funds for fisheries and the Smithsonian) are reportedly absent from the final version of the House legislation being debated right now…

Debate Watch: Casual Habana in Hackensack with Bergen County Hispanic Republican Association

Oct. 24 Barack Obama, Debates, Election 2012, Mitt Romney 3 comments

On Monday, many groups across New Jersey and the country gathered together to watch the third and final presidential debate.  

A new organization, the Bergen County Hispanic Republican Association, gathered for its first outing at Casual Habana, one of the finest establishments for authentic Cuban cuisine in New Jersey.  

There has been a Hispanic Republican Organization under the auspices of the Bergen County Republican Organization in the past, but this is under new leadership, to whom Save Jersey recently spoke at their first formal meeting a few weeks ago…

Romney Adopted Reagan’s Winning 1980 Strategy in the Final Debate (VIDEO)

Oct. 24 American History, Debates, Election 2012, Foreign Policy, Mitt Romney, Ronald Reagan 39 comments

Mitt Romney was criticized in some (though by no means most) conservative quarters on Tuesday for letting Obama off the hook for Libya in Monday night’s debate. I’m not sure that that’s entirely fair. Most folks in-the-know seem to think it was strategic, and I’m inclined to agree. We’ll get an idea of how well it worked beginning with the next few rounds of polling.

It’s also worth remembering that Romney’s “stand back and let the president look less presidential” strategy isn’t original to him, Save Jerseyans. His mythologizers won’t believe it, but Mitt borrowed this tactic from Ronald Reagan’s 1980 debate with Jimmy Carter under very similiar foreign policy circumstances…

Bette Midler Joins the Christie Fat Joke Chorus

Oct. 23 Chris Christie 8 comments

I’ve always liked Bette Midler, Save Jerseyans.

Great performer, solid set of pipes, she sang that classic Gulf War “God is Watching Us” song and hey, who doesn’t love watching Hocus Pocus this time of year?

That’s why it’s particularly disappointing to see her resort to the lowest common denominator and lampoon Governor Chris Christie’s weight during Monday’s presidential debate:

Com’on, Bette! You’re better than that.

Based on Last Night’s Debate Performance, Obama’s Internals Must Really Stink

Oct. 23 Debates, Election 2012 58 comments

One candidate walked into the final 2012 debate last night exuding calm, confidence, and behaving in a thoroughly-presidential manner.

The second candidate was hyper-aggressive, nasty, and myopically focused on landing a punch on the other guy instead of setting forth a positive vision of his own.

Would you have even known who was the incumbent if you had just arrived on our planet from Mars, Save Jerseyans? Doubtful.

Mitt Romney looked like the man nursing a lead; Barack Obama, by contrast, came across as a man desperately trying to regain his footing.

That’s why I know Governor Romney emerged as the foreign policy debate’s big winner…
